Tell HN: I got Claude Max for my open source project

8•asim•16h ago

Not long ago there was a link to an offer for Claude Max for open source projects with more than 5000 stars. My project Go Micro (https://go-micro.dev) fit that criteria and they gave me access. So we know it works! 10 years ago I was desperate to find or hire people to work on this with me. Now this subscription for an agent will basically cover the work. It's crazy to think what change occurs in that time. Anyways thanks to whoever posted it. I wouldn't have seen it otherwise!

I guess I should ask. How should I effectively use it?

Congrats!

> Anyways thanks to whoever posted it.

It might have been this submission (which is not mine): “Get free Claude max 20x for open-source maintainers”

I wonder if they're going to prevent people buying GH stars to get this?

Let Claude write the blog post https://go-micro.dev/blog/3

There's still a lot to be said about refinement e.g a lot of inconsistencies or half truths.
